I use the glue sticks for a lot of quilting things especially matching patterns in seams as in this Kaffe backing, so it should help your DIL It is easy to use and if you need to remove it, a damp cloth removes a lot of it. You don't need a lot - but I do give it a quick press to dry it out when I am in a hurry before sewing.

This is how precise you can get with only it and no pins ...
